On This Episode:

During our visit to the NCANA meeting last fall, we had the opportunity to host a live podcast about lobbying for your state association and we had the pleasure of bringing NCANA lobbyists Patrick Ballantine and Tracy Kimbrell onto the panel with us.

Both of them have been tremendous assets to our association because of their passion for lobbying. We explored that role to find out what skills it takes, how to utilize a lobbyist, and what you should expect from them.  

In this episode, you’ll get to hear our live podcast taping from the event and the great discussion we had about what lobbyists mean to our profession.

Here are some of the things you’ll learn on this show:

  • Background on our guests today and how they got into lobbying for the NCANA. [2:38]
  • What qualities does a legislator look for in a lobbyist? [7:09]
  • What is the ultimate goal of lobbying? [9:50]
  • How should the lobbyist interact with the organization? [15:49]
  • How do you keep different groups and issues separated? [22:52]
  • The importance of Lobby Days. [39:20]
  • How can you evaluate the work your lobbyist is doing? [45:04]

To me this is the best area of law, to be able to advocate for good public policy which ends up having broad-based impact on lots of people’s lives. It’s an honor to be a part of the process and represent the NCANA.

Tracy Kimbrell

Ep 237: To DNP or Not To DNP

Many CRNAs are returning to school to earn their Post-Master’s Doctor of Nursing Practice but is it worth it to spend the time and money to earn another degree? You can find plenty of information and discussion about DNP project topics and people that have earned their DNP, but it’s not as easy to find a thorough explanation of how to go through that process and the actual value it provides. Devin Miller, CRNA, DNP joins the show today to get into the details of a DNP and tell us why he feels it can empower nurses after completing the program.

I started listening to this podcast religiously early on in my CRNA journey, a year before applying to CRNA school. The content in this podcast was one of my most helpful resources for getting into my first choice school, Wake Forest! It has also been a huge motivator for getting involved with the AANA now and throughout my career. I highly recommend this podcast to every prospective CRNA I meet.
